A State of Independence

A State of Independence brings together the work of the most significant practitioners, in the British Isles, of contemporary poetry of a radical persuasion that Shearsman magazine stands for. These poets range from the well-known to the unknown, from those who came to prominence in the sixties to those only now becoming recognized, from those published by mainstream presses to those only available in fugitive small-press editions. It includes longer poems than is usual for an anthology, and attempts to show enough of each writer's work to enable the reader to get a good understanding of his or her style. In near mint condition with hardly any signs of wear.
